AVID Essential Collection presents a Bakers Dozen of the greatest jazz and swing masters from the 20th Century.
Some are household names such as Eddie Lang, famous for his lifelong partnership with violinist Joe Venuti. Lonnie Johnson, perhaps better known as a blues singer and instrumentalist, Charlie Christian a seminal figure in the development of jazz guitar and of course the legendary Django Reinhardt, the most outstanding European jazz musician, probably ever!
In and around these masters you will discover the likes of Carl Kress, George Van Eps, Al Casey, George Barnes, Oscar Moore and many others all with their own individual style and musical story to tell.
Sit yourself down, make yourself comfortable, flip the controls and their story begins!
